Thanks for the email. I don't think you would want eggs.... they probably would cost around 500. each and are almost 90% not to hatch. The Ocellated turkey species is only being kept by a few private breeders and is more known for it's captive existence in public zoo's. But with that said we are selling a pair for a friend of ours... 2500. for the pair. The male is a European breeder age male, the hen is a 2010 hatch hen. When we think of prices, (you and I) the most important aspect to keep in mind... raising any species is a tough job, avian prices are high for a reason... but, that reason also works for selling any offspring.
Start with the thinking your purchase is for passion not profit... then regardless what happens as long as your birds are alive all is good.


here is a breeder i found , too expensive for me.. bummer...
